UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BERNHARD WAGNER, OF STETTIN, GERMANY.

APPARATUS FOR TREATING BRIQUETS.

Specification o1 Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 5, 1909.

Application filed October 14, 1907. Serial No. 3597,2443.-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNHARD WAGNER,

merchant, a subject of the Kin of Prussia, residing at N o. 99 Kaiser vWi helmstrasse, Stettm, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for ollowing is agent in such briquets as are of round instead of angular cross section, thus for instance in oval-shaped briquets.

With the apparatus disclosed in the said atent there is not sufficient security aforded that such shaped briquets during passage through the compartments of the coking-drum or chamber are turned over regularly, such as is absolutely necessary.

According to my present invention the compartments of the drum in addition to being provided with screw blades of wellknown description to revent premature delivery of the briquets rom the drum, are also furnished with longitudinally running artitions, which on rotation of the drum Insure the desired periodical turning over of the briquets' during their passage through the same.

One form of construction'of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing. Figure 1 is a longitudina section, showing the complete coking apparatus. Fig. 2 is a cross section through the coking drum, drawn on an enlarged'scale. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through a portion of one of the drum compartments, drawn to a still larger scale. Fig. 4 is a cross section through the same.

As in the apparatus disclosed in the Letters Patent already referred to, the bri nets are automatically fed through the inc ined drum 1 by reason of its rotation, passing from the upper to the lower end.

The com artments of the drum are furnished in t e interior with spirally running blades 2 which exert a retarding action upon the advancing bri nets and thus prevent their premature de ivery from the coking chamber. Each compartment is also ro- Vided with lateral partitions 3, running ongitudinally of the drum, over which partitions the briquets slide alternately and are thus turned over, such as is necessary to promote regular action of the furnace gases on the briquets and to produce uniform coking of the bmding agent.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In apparatus for coking the binding agent in bri uets, an elongated rotary chamber divided ongitudinally into a plurality of compartments which present longitudinally extending lateral partitions, and means for retarding the passage of the briquets through the compartments, and means cooperating wlth the retardmg means and extending laterally with relation thereto for turning said briguets during their passage, substantially escribed.

2. In apparatus for coking the binding agent in briquets, an elongated rotary chamberdivided longitudinally into a plurality of compartments which present longitudinally extending lateral partitions, and screwblades located in the compartments and extending between said partitions for retarding the passage of the bri uets through them, substantially as descri ed.

3. In apparatus for coking the binding agent in briquets, a rotary drum inclined and.

presenting concentric assemblages of longitudinally running tubular com artments which are provided with longitu inally extending lateral partitions, and screw blades located in the compartments and extending between said partitions for retarding the passage of the bri uets through them, substantially as descri ed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 24th day of September 1907,

in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
